If Cafcass is involved in your Peterborough family court case, I provide practical support with safeguarding calls, Section 7 reports and preparation for upcoming hearings.
I help parents representing themselves understand what is happening, organise the important information and prepare in a clear and child-focused way.
I also support people from Stamford, Market Deeping, Whittlesey, Oundle, Huntingdon, March and Wisbech.
Cafcass and the Family Court in Peterborough
Private family law cases involving children may be heard at:
Peterborough Combined Court Centre
Crown Buildings
Rivergate
Peterborough
PE1 1EJ
Cases may involve Section 8 Children Act proceedings, including Child Arrangements Orders, Prohibited Steps Orders and Specific Issue Orders.
Cafcass may become involved by completing safeguarding enquiries, speaking with the parents or preparing a Section 7 report when directed by the court.
My role is independent. I do not work for Cafcass or the court.
Always check your hearing notice before travelling, as the arrangements will depend on your individual case.
Preparing for Cafcass in Peterborough
Cafcass may become involved through safeguarding enquiries or, where directed by the court, a Section 7 report.
Preparation can help you identify the information that matters, explain concerns clearly and keep the focus on the child rather than becoming overwhelmed by the history of the dispute.
I can help you prepare for a safeguarding call or Section 7 assessment, organise relevant information and work through the points you may need to explain. If a Section 7 report has already been completed, I can also help you review it and prepare for the next hearing.
For a fuller explanation of the process, see my Cafcass Safeguarding and Section 7 Guide or Cafcass Support page or watch my interview with Andy Hyde, a former Cafcass Family Court Adviser.
What one parent said about Section 7 support
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Greg at Everyman Justice has been instrumental in helping me navigate a Section 7 report and position statement. Very knowledgeable and clear. I would definitely recommend using him rather than an expensive solicitor.”

Remote and In-Person Support in Peterborough
Much of the preparation for Cafcass can be completed remotely by video call, telephone and document review.
Where in-person support is useful, I can also arrange meetings and attendance at Peterborough Combined Court Centre, subject to availability.
Some parents use a mixed approach — preparing remotely and meeting in person for an important hearing.

Free Cafcass information sessions
I also host free online Family Law Information Sessions for parents who want to understand Cafcass involvement before deciding what individual support they need.
Sessions may cover safeguarding calls, Section 7 reports, preparing for interviews and keeping explanations child-focused.
Details of upcoming sessions may also be listed through the Peterborough Matters Local Events section.
Get Cafcass Support in Peterborough
If Cafcass is involved in your Peterborough family court case, send me a short explanation of where your case currently stands, whether Cafcass has contacted you and whether a hearing or Section 7 report is coming up.
I can then let you know whether practical McKenzie Friend support may be suitable and whether remote, in-person or combined support would work best.
